Shropshire Union Canal Society

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shropshire Union Canal Society is an organisation formed to promote interest in the Shropshire Union Canal.

In December 1964 the Shrewsbury & Newport Canal Association was formed, with the ambition of restoring to navigation the canals between Norbury Junction and Shrewsbury. In 1966 the Ministry of Transport rejected the restoration proposals, the Association changed its name to the Shropshire Union Canal Society and two years later, in 1968, set out to restore the Montgomery Canal.
